& There is a rush for seats at the Empress this afternoon.

The bill is one of the best that has been

advertised in the Empress for a long time. Headed by Karno

and his company of clever comedians, there

is going to be something doing in the comedy line.

„Furnished by the antics pf the people in the boxes“

Editorial content. „THE Empress.

      The ,standing room only‘ sign was out at the Empress

theatre last evening at a quarter to eight and a few

minutes later there was no room for another person. The

performance is one of the best which has been

presented at the theatre for some weeks and the people got

wise to what they might expect and flocked to the

house. The head liner of the programme is Fred Karno‘s

original English pantomime company in A Night

in an English Music Hall. There are half a dozen people

in the caste, including a dozen in the boxes on the

stage, for it is a stage on a stage. The chief amusement

is furnished by the antics pf the people in the

boxes.“ (...)

Redaktioneller Inhalt.

      Der Winnipeg Theatermanager William Blake

Lawrence (1870–1918) benennt das Dominion um in Empress

Theatre und macht daraus ein Vaudeville Haus für den

Sullivan–Considine Circuit. Hier geben Chaplin und die Karno Comedians in der Woche vom 3. April 1911 A Night

in an English Music Hall. Da ist John M. Shuberg Manager

des Hauses.

      The Winnipeg Tribune: „Auf der Bühne, in der Rolle

eines angewidert aus der Wäsche stierenden Betrunkenen, sieht

Chaplin aus, als hätte er mindestens 35 Jahre auf dem Buckel.“

      Und: „Jede kleinste Regung seines verwandlungsfähigen

Gesichts, und sei es nur das Anheben einer Augenbraue, hat im

Publikum unkontrollierbare Ausbrüche von Gelächter zur Folge.“
